Chris Quote #205
Quote from Chris in Everybody Hates Superstition
Rochelle: Here, boy, here's your socks.
Chris: I thought you said you got rid of them.
Rochelle: I just wanted to clean them.
Julius: You going to put them on?
Chris: No, I don't think so. I don't need them anymore. Here. Well, I guess I could keep them for just a little while longer. You know, just in case.
Julius: Yeah, just in case.
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Yeah, just in case the circus comes back in town. I wasn't prepared to spend the rest of my life at the mercy of a pair of socks. Any luck from this point forward, I would make on my own.
[As Chris runs up the stairs in his socks, he trips and falls down on his back]
Chris: Ow.

Quote from Rochelle
Adult Chris: [v.o.] Meanwhile, my mother had another way of getting her point across.
Rochelle: The next time you ask me to do something after your father told you no, I'm going to pop the pores off your face, do you understand me?
Drew: Yes, ma'am.
Quote from Ms. Morello
Ms. Morello: I hope everyone is prepared for today's history quiz. And, Chris, I hope you weren't too busy taking care of all of your half-brothers and sisters to study.
Quote from Chris
Adult Chris: [v.o.] I had no idea what to say. Without my lucky socks and without studying I was in big, big trouble.
Chris: Um... Many people think that when you succeed against all odds it's by luck. Well, I don't believe in luck. At least not anymore. [clears throat] I mean, was- Was it lucky- Was it lucky when when Rocky beat Mr. T? No, he prepared for it. He prepared by beating Apollo Creed. So now who pities the fool? I mean, was it lucky when Indiana Jones saved those kids from the Temple of Doom? No, he prepared. He prepared by saving the world in Raiders of the Lost Ark. I mean, if you could save the whole world, it's not going to be too hard to save a couple of kids. Was it lucky when King Kong defeated those planes? No, 'cause he didn't defeat the planes. They shot his behind clear off the Empire State Building. Now if King Kong had spent some time learning how to fight some planes instead of chasing a White girl around, he would be alive to this very day. Many people believe that you can succeed against all odds. I don't believe that. I believe the odds are, that if you don't prepare, you won't succeed.
Ms. Morello: Yes! Yes! Yes! [applauase]
Adult Chris: [v.o.] It turns out I didn't need lucky socks. All I needed was to listen to my father.
